    I could show you a Monty Python video clip for that.
    In my day I was traversing the dirt tracks with a bike bought with my confirmation money.

    If you spend the rest of your confirmation money you could get one of them private jets, land on time and still catch that train :rolleyes:

    Damn, all these private jets causing me the hassle and delay my holiday for hours... HOURS.
    Actually, I was catching that train to get to work for a half day. On the far side everything worked fine. Airport to High speed train to connecting regional train to sneakered feet to walk the 1km from local train station to work.

    Then I'll have no money left for my Oak Casket and burial plot up the good side of the graveyard.

    The jets were using allocated slots in a slot controlled airport. If they weren't using those slots then a larger passenger jet could well possibly have which probably would have delayed you further.
    That would give me some succour; that would be an airport run towards the benefit of the community.

    Were you late according to the scheduled time? Because even if we take your 20 minutes claim at face value any flight beyond England that I've been on had at least that much padding.

    I flew out on Tuesday and there were two executive jets one after the other in the queue to take off before us. Our plane took off late so it can't be said that it didn't affect our full flight.

    What flight was it?

    I couldn't make out the numbers on the two executive jets. They were both white and livery free.

    So 200 people going on a sun holiday is more important than a possible multi billion investment? People leaving the country aren't spending money in it so it doesn't matter if they are delayed as they aren't benefiting the community.

    You still haven't said if you landed on time or not.
